Tag: the year of the square

I am having a slightly better but still not great day today. Mainly because I have a chest infection that is kicking my arse. I haven’t left the house for ages. This does not do my brain any favours. Square 48 was made up sitting on the sofa watching Doctor Strange with my 5-year-old (yeah I…… Continue reading Fishies

I just couldn’t be bothered to look at patterns. I cant really be bothered with much at the moment. Blah. Square 46 – alternative rows of single and double crochets.

The contrast between İçərişəhər and the city out side of its walls is extreme in…… Continue reading Photography walk in the old city
